Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Adults, whose epiphysis has closed, cannot undergo a sudden growth spurt, but will have enlarged hands, feet, and internal organs. This results from hypersecretion of growth hormone.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The best method of evaluating the client's ability to change a dressing is to watch a return demonstration by the client. Verbal understanding does not assure the nurse that the client actually is able to perform the dressing change.
